   Peel and dice the potatoes and carrots into small, even pieces.

2. 2

   Finely chop the onions and mince the garlic cloves.

3. 3

   Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and sauté until the onions are translucent.

4. 4

   Add the diced potatoes and carrots to the pot, and cook for a few minutes until they start to soften.

5. 5

   Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer.

6. 6

   Add the thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.

7. 7

   Allow the soup to simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.

8. 8

   Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup in the pot, leaving some chunks for texture, or transfer to a blender in batches if necessary. Be careful when blending hot liquids.

9. 9

   Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve the soup hot.
